ADJUSTMENT (CONT.):
j. Slide the miter gauge rearward until the clamped bar is closest to the
tip of the marked saw blade tooth. (Fig. 13-c)
k. If the bar just touched the tooth when the gauge was in the front
position, it should just touch the tooth in the rear position. Likewise, if
there was some clearance between the bar and the tooth tip at the
front, the same clearance should be at the rear.
l. If the front and rear clearances are not identical;
-
remove the miter gauge.
- loosen four 6 mm flat screws.
- move the body and adjust it so that a bar placed on the miter
gauge is as wide as the clearance between the front and rear
of the saw blade.
- tighten the four 6 mm flat screws.
2. Adjusting 90° and 45° positive stops:
This tool is equipped with positive stops for rapid and accurate
positioning of the saw blade at 90° and left bevel 45° to the table. Check
and adjust the positive stops by the following procedures.
a.
To adjust positive stop at 90°;
-
turn the wheel fully clockwise and set the saw blade to the
maximum cutting height.
- loosen the saw blade tilt lock handle and move the saw blade
tilting mechanism to the left until it hits against the stopper. Then
tighten the saw blade tilt lock handle. (Fig. 14-a)
- use a square to check the saw blade is at a precise 90°.
(Fig. 14-b)
- if the saw blade is not at a precise 90°, loosen the saw blade tilt
lock handle by turning it counterclockwise. Loosen the 6 mm
machine screw (A) (Fig. 13-c) a few turns and move the saw
blade tilting mechanism until the blade is at 90° to the table.
(Fig. 14-b)
- tighten the saw blade tilt lock handle after adjustment.
- loosen the 5 mm machine screw and set the needle pointer to
0°. On completion of adjustment, recheck the 90° of the saw
blade and table. (Fig. 14-c)
b. To adjust positive stop at left bevel 45°;
-
turn the wheel fully clockwise and set the saw blade to the
maximum cutting height.
- loosen the saw blade tilt lock handle and move the saw blade
tilting mechanism to the right until it hits against the stopper.
Then tighten the saw blade tilt lock handle. (Fig. 15-a)
- use a 45° gauge to check the saw blade is at a left bevel 45°.
(Fig. 15-b)
- if the saw blade is not at a left bevel 45°, loosen the saw blade tilt
lock handle. Loosen the 6 mm machine screw (A) (Fig. 13-c) a
few turns and move the saw blade tilting mechanism until the
blade is at left bevel 45° to the table. (Fig. 15-b)
- after adjustment, tighten the saw blade tilt lock handle.
- on completion of adjustment, recheck the left 45° bevel of the
saw blade and table.
